"Wallace Community College Selma continues to be a learning-centered college and a center for academic and program excellence. My philosophy of education is based on the foundational ideology that education is the greatest transformer of human behavior and a critical component in improving the quality of life for our students and their respective communities. Learning is clearly the responsibility of our students but our institution is equally as responsible for our students’ success. Failure is not an option.”
